Overview

Integrated Flight Deck with InSight

The InSight Display System is designed as an integrated flight deck solution, featuring embedded synthetic vision with advanced mapping capability, electronic charts, and radio control. With fewer required external Line Replaceable Units (LRU) for essential functions than traditional avionics systems, InSight means less avionics weight and wiring for your aircraft, which equates to cost savings on the installation.

As an integrated solution, InSight retains the ability to interface with a large number of federated components such as attitude/heading sensors, air data computers, radars, traffic systems, radios, and autopilots. InSight translates into lower operating and maintenance costs for your flight operations while providing enhanced safety, situational awareness, and functionality for pilots

Databases

InSight includes a range of required and optional databases to meet your aircraft needs and flight requirements. Databases include:
  • Terrain
  • Obstacle
  • Navigation Reference
  • Airport Mapping
  • Electronic Terminal Charts (eCharts)

Databases are downloaded using the Universal Avionics custom-designed Data Download Tool (DDT), a Microsoft® Windows® based PC tool. InSight databases are uploaded into the system via Secure Digital (SD) memory card either via the SD Card slot on the front right side of the Alphanumeric Keyboard (ANK) or the center of the SD Card Server if an ANK is not part of the InSight installation.

Data Download Tool

The Data Download Tool (DDT) is a Microsoft Windows-based PC tool used to download InSight aeronautical database updates; Terrain, NAV Reference, Obstacles, and Airport Mapping (AMDB) databases supplied by Universal Avionics, and the eCharts database supplied by Jeppesen. The DDT is available to customers and Authorized Dealers/Integrators as a download from the UniNet Online Service Center (a UniNet account is required).

Database updates are downloaded via the DDT and stored on the PC's hard drive, then exported to SD Card for upload into InSight via the Alphanumeric Keyboard (ANK) or SD Card Server if an ANK is not part of the InSight installation.

DDT Minimum Requirements
  • Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 or equivalent processor
  • RAM: 2 GB at 1066 MHz or better
  • Hard disk space: 32 GB free space
  • Network: 1.5 Mbit/s connection
  • Removable Media: Class 10 32 GB SD card through USB 2.0 or equivalent SD reader
  • Operating System: Windows 7 or newer
